  <strong>Application information</strong><br />
  This is currently MyIsern 2.0, Release 2.0.1213.  The system was created by a group of computer 
  science graduate students at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in a software engineering course 
  taught by Professor Philip Johnson.
  
  <br /><br /><br />

  <strong>System overview</strong><br />
  MyIsern allows users to create, edit, and delete information about the researchers, organizations,
  and collaborations that make up ISERN. The system also produces a report of any records that may 
  contain errors, such as a researcher who does not belong to an organization. Users may also view a 
  graph which represents the network by displaying organizations as nodes and collaborations as the 
  edges between nodes.

  <br /><br /><br />
  
  <strong>Known problems</strong><br />
  <ul class="help">
    <li class="help">Dataset from collaboration.xml and collabViewGraph.xml are not consistent</li>
    <li class="help">Visualization will not be updated when collaborations are added</li>
  </ul>
  
  <br /><br />

  <strong>MyIsern functions</strong><br />
  Here is a list of functions that are supported by MyIsern:
  <ul class="help">
    <li>Add a Researcher, Organization, Collaboration</li>
    <li>Modify a Researcher, Organization, Collaboration</li>
    <li>Delete a Researcher, Organization, Collaboration</li>
    <li>Show a Report on invalid Researcher, Organization, Collaboration (s)</li>
    <li>Import XML files containing data</li>
    <li>Launch applet to show how organizations are linked by collaborations</li>
  </ul><br />
  The system was designed to be as intuitive as possible.  Errors will appear whenever a value
  is missing.  For example, a reasearcher cannot be created unless a name is given, so the message
  "Please fix the following errors: Researcher Name is a required field" will be displayed to
  explain the constraint to the user.
  
  <br /><br />
  
  The <strong>Import XML</strong> link is used to change the base data (Researchers, Organizations, 
  Collaborations) in the MyIsern system.  The XML files imported must follow a specific schema that 
  can be found in our source distribution under /xml/schema/{researchers.xsd, organizations.xsd, 
  collaborations.xsd}.
